I think I'm going to do a '57 Chevy with paintings of Vendo 81's all over it. Should be real eye catching!

I don't like it either.. why take a classic machine and try to customize it.. Like others have said, take a generic square top or other non embossed cooler and customize all you want..
it won't sell this way..

 I agree with Oscar

They should have painted an old compressor top refrigerator instead
It would have made a better canvas and nothing would have taken away from the art work, the way it is now the serving door opening looks like an eye sore instead of being the spot that normally  blends in nicely with the rest of the machine. Also I bet if they didn't do the art work themselves they paid a pretty penny for it.

I don't think it ads anything. They should have painted an old compressor top refrigerator instead. That would have been more appropriate.

I think it would look better with the "Sprite-boy" sticking his creepy face out of the trunk on the '57 Chevy kinda like Freddy Kruger beckoning you to your Death ( Er..Coke) "  it kinda reminds me of the old "BeerMachines.com" website (they were on Ebay too) selling Beer themed 60's coke machine? this would fit right in

Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes.
Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon!
The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p
Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor
11 is louder than 10...
"Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan.
